Alcon,


There is a significant issue that has been identified within my alliance.

It revolves around the Gila.

Wikipedia and Merriam Webster dictionary basically pronounce it as such: The Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum, /ˈhiːlə/ HEE-lə).

Many eve players pronounce it GEE-la.

CCP and fellow C&P members. I need your help clearing this up ASAP. People may start killing each other.

Also... 'Murica.

The crime is clearly in the continuation of the slaughter when pronouncing Gila.

I do not allow anybody to dicatate to me how this game should be played, because it is a sandbox. Similarly, I will pronouncimicate words in a manner solely of my own choosing. Geela Geela Geela.

Your move.

Or is it Yeb-e-dy-ah with a soft J like Yogging

I'm pretty sure the "J" in "Gila" is silent.

But, my Italian is rusty.

I have a measurable increase in blood pressure when people call a rokh a rock.

Anyone that does not understand this needs to watch "I'm in a rokh" from galaxy punks.

The hypocrisy of those statements coming from a code member is over the top.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

The only correct pronounciation is "Gill-ah". Cool

I'm honestly more concerned about the fact that some people still pronounce Amarr,


A-mar. When it should be Uh-Marr.

I assure you that I am being sincere, I refuse to let other people (like the OP) dictate to me how to play, it goes against everything I stand for.
